Software
Roboteq is a Software company at heart: All our Controllers and Sensors are based on advanced 32-bit ARM processors. They are the hardware platforms for our constantly improving Control, Signal Processing and Communications Algorithms that are embedded in our Firmware.
We are also a Systems company, offering components that talk to each other, and the tools needed to integrate them into larger assemblies. As such, we understand our customer needs and offer an array of solutions backed by expert Engineering Support
Powerful PC Utilities for Easy Setup and Operation
All our controllers and sensors are supported with an easy-to-use PC utility that allows users to configure the device’s parameters.The utility provides means of diagnostics through rich charts and logs.The utility also provides means of updating the product’s firmware through the UI with fewmouse clicks. In addition to that, the utility provides a way for writing, compiling, and uploading user defined script through a script editor/compiler integrated in the utility.
Embedded Scripting for Ultimate Flexibility
One of the Roboteq products’ most powerful and innovative features is their ability for theuser to write programs that are permanently saved into and run from the device’s FlashMemory. This capability is the equivalent, for example, the combining the motor controller’s or sensor’sfunctionality and this of a PLC or Single Board Computer on a single device. Scriptcan be simple or elaborate, and can be used, for example, to createnew functionality, implement safety strategies, change parameters on-the-fly, or implement custom communication protocols. The possibilities are truly endless
AGV Simulator and Robot Kinematics Scripts
Scripting makes is possible to implement Robot Kinematics and basic navigation right into the motor controller. To simplify programming, Roboteq offers sample programs for robot Kinematics and Guidance, as we as the RoboAGVSim, a simulator that lets Mobile Robots designers program, test and fine tune their Vehicles in the comfort of their PC. The simulated AGV will move according the user program and uses the Robot’s real physical characteristics, such as wheelbase, gear ratio, wheel diameter and sensor distance from the pivot point.Once the program has been verified in the simulator, it can be loaded into the Roboteq controller that is on the real AGV.
APIs & Drivers for Accelerated Integration
Our Controllers and Sensors are Components that must talk to each other, computers and other subsystems. Our Linux/Windows API and Drivers for the ROS - Robot Operating System – make this work fast and efficient.
